Mitchell Parker struggles, Nats still triumph over Pirates
by Chris Schommer | Nationals Correspondent | Sun, Sep 8th 8:51am EDT
Mitchell Parker had a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over just 3 1/3 innings in Saturday's 8-6 victory against the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Nationals' win, Parker's performance was less than stellar, contributing to a season that has been a mixed bag with a 4.43 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. His inability to go deep into games consistently, as evidenced by his early exit after 78 pitches, raises concerns about his reliability in fantasy lineups. While his strikeout rate remains decent at 8.1 K/9, his control issues this game, highlighted by the four walks, continue to inflate his ERA and WHIP, making him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
